DigiGirlz is a great student outreach effort that the Microsoft Diversity Team puts on here in the Seattle area.  There will be 80 high school girls visiting Microsoft campus for 4 days.  They’ll meet female executives, take a tour of Game Test labs and build their own “mad libs” project.  I had the chance to swing by and visit with last year's campers as they wrote their mad libs and it was very cool.  It’s a fairly simple Javascript app but they a TON of fun with.  It’s pretty neat to see “the light go on” WRT the actual programming.  It’s also pretty entertaining watching them input words into the final product. :)
